Was told it runs, haven't seen it. Don't know much about it. Needs key. A nice project for the right person. Have title. Firm on price

wondering if its a good deal.

like the look of these and am willing to add it to my project list.

thank you.

I've always liked the look of that CB200 tank- based on the photos and minimal info it seems like a pretty good deal to me. Any info on whether it's non-op or currently registered or tags are out of date? Back fees would kill this deal quickly...

Seems like a fair price if running. I have a cb200. Not the fastest thing around but a fun bike for back road Sunday afternoon cruising.

I edited my first post a bit- the last few good deals I've seen all had back fees attached to them once they were run by AAA. Hopefully this one is clear of that.

In my opinion that's a fair price. I paid $425 for mine not running, but just needed the carbs cleaned, front brake maintenance and a new set of tires. Its a fun little bike.

Since there is no key, how to i check if the lights are working and plugs have spark?

If it has felt compression I'd go for it as is. Looks pretty good.

A temporary jumper wire from battery positive to the correct terminal of unplugged key switch connector. I'd get the number from the switch face and just order a key from 12ozPBR via PM.

Just wanted to thank everyone who gave input.
Sadly bike was sold.
But that leaves me $600 richer.

Definitely meets the value in parts if it's a dud. Tank and side covers look nice, and looks like it has some of the original parts that were replaced (but maybe not both airboxes?). I've had a couple of these, fun little bikes to putt around on. Cable operated front disc. Is there a way to find out if there are back fees before buying it? IF not, and it has them, is it possible to register in another state like AZ then bring it back?

If you have the last 5 of the VIN and the license plate you can go onto the DMV website and use their fee calculator for buying from a private party. Any penalties will be listed there.
